Everton are chasing Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback.
The People says Everton are ready to hijack Newcastle United's move for Sunderland's out-of-contract midfielder Colback.
Roberto Martinez knows he has to increase the size of his squad with qualification for European football almost secured, despite yesterday's defeat.
And Colback, available on a free, could fill the gap if Blues midfielder Gareth Barry, on-loan from Manchester City, moves on this summer.
